So, I decided to try this today. It steeped about 4 minutes at 177 degrees.
The mint and green tea are definitely the strongest flavors in this one. The mint reminds me of spearmint gum. However, I’m not getting much watermelon or limeade flavor from this at all. Would sugar bring those flavors out? Maybe. It is a nice tea (I definitely enjoy mint teas, but I was hoping for more of a mix of flavors. It is a little bitter and astringent, which balances nicely with the mint. I probably could have avoided the bitterness by brewing at a lower temperature like I often do. It makes me wonder if maybe the higher temperature might have killed the fruity flavors, too.
Update: Interestingly enough, as I let the tea get cold, and started taking bigger gulps, it lost some of that astringency and bitterness I was getting at the beginning.
